July 25, 2021July 25, 2021 ~ the whirly girl ~ 10 Comments

I’m a pedestrian at heart. I honestly adore walking the city, rain or shine, an activity that’s either incredibly brave or crazy stoopid. Because, to my great regret, I’m equipped with the motor skills of a roaring drunk. For me, an afternoon stroll is nothing short of daredevilish, á la Evel Knievel. It’s just plain … Continue reading : the all-new, all-out street war :

You know what? It’s not as hard as it looks. Seriously, I walked and chewed gum at the same damn time. And I’m here to tell the tale -- uninjured, too. I’m not even wearing a Band-Aid. Over the course of the weekend, I’ve probably covered six or seven miles just wandering aimlessly, with no … Continue reading : walking and chewing gum, plus a farewell :

WELCOME!

Who was so exceedingly neat.
When he got out of bed,

To make sure of not soiling his feet.

We’re all hurtling through space at 1,040 mph with the earth’s rotation. I’m the one in the backseat with my head out the window. May I borrow a comb?
